Ecology of two Pittas (Pitta soror and Pitta nympha) in limestone forests of South China (2017)
Journal Article
Jiang, A., Yang, G., Pagani-Núñez, E., & Jiang, D. (2017). Ecology of two Pittas (Pitta soror and Pitta nympha) in limestone forests of South China. Journal of Natural History, 51(31-32), 1929-1941. https://doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2017.1355490

The ecology and life history of bird species inhabiting limestone forests, which are under major conservation threats, is currently poorly known. To cover this gap of knowledge, in this study we report for the first time on several aspects of the bre...

Foraging in the tropics: relationships among species’ abundances, niche asymmetries and body condition in an urban avian assemblage (2017)
Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., He, C., Wu, Y. W., Peabotuwage, I., & Goodale, E. (2017). Foraging in the tropics: relationships among species’ abundances, niche asymmetries and body condition in an urban avian assemblage. Urban Ecosystems, 20(6), 1301-1310. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11252-017-0682-1

Two main theories attempt to explain species coexistence: the neutral theory considers all the species as equivalents so biodiversity is mainly regarded as a function of total available resources (i.e. niche expansion), while the niche theory stresse...

To be so bold: boldness is repeatable and related to within individual behavioural variability in North Island robins (2017)
Journal Article
He, R., Pagani-Núñez, E., Chevallier, C., & Barnett, C. R. (2017). To be so bold: boldness is repeatable and related to within individual behavioural variability in North Island robins. Behavioural Processes, 140, 144-149. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2017.04.014

Behavioural research traditionally focusses on the mean responses of a group of individuals rather than variation in behaviour around the mean or among individuals. However, examining the variation in behaviour among and within individuals may also y...
